Sub's Officer Testifies On Scorpion Depth Limits And Systems
Lt Cmdr R R Fountain testified at a Naval Court of Inquiry that he had no qualms about the Scorpion's regular surfacing ballast system and that depth restrictions due to a faulty emergency ballast blowing setup did not affect his view of the submarine’s readiness. He noted the crew was strong and the boat in good condition before sailing for the Mediterranean in February. Restrictions were imposed in 1964 after the defective emergency ballast blowing system was found, and two secret movement orders were later revealed as the submarine returned from the Mediterranean. The Scorpion was last heard from May 21, 365 miles southwest of the Azores, with an unsuccessful search beginning May 27.
